WE DID IT! It’s a Podcast Assemble milestone - 200 episodes in, and what better way to celebrate than with a film that derailed an entire childhood? Tommy’s been splitting time between Hell Is Us (moody, existential, and probably not finished) and Shrinking (Jason Segel unravelling in style). DL’s meditating on the Jedi Code. And this week, the boys revisit the galactic fever dream that is The Phantom Menace - the film that asked, What if space wizards had senate hearings?Timecodes:<ul><li>Intro (00:00)</li><li>What Have We Been Up To?

It’s got politics, podracing, and a child with dangerous midi-chlorian levels. It introduces us to Darth Maul (the best character with the least screen time), the somehow-royal Queen Amidala, and everyone's "favourite" Gungan, Jar Jar Binks. Tommy’s still hates Liam Neeson. DL's trying to see the good in it (mostly John Williams). There’s lore, there’s lightsabers, and there’s SENATE HEARINGSIs The Phantom Menace an ambitious, misunderstood space opera—or just a two-hour galactic trade dispute with cool sound design?
